Ansel12, I would encourage everyone, especially the moderators to review your posting history. In addition to frequent inflammatory comments it has been very typical for you to mischaracterize other people’s comments by quoting them out of context.

One needs to go no further than this thread to see an example of that. In my initial post I stated quite clearly about Mitt Romney, “his recent statements make him look like either a gullible idiot or someone who panders to the liberal agenda.” I also said that I did not feel that he was a decisive leader and was not what the country needed. Yet you continue to quote me completely out of context and characterize my initial post as some sort defense of Mr. Romney. With your false characterization you have even managed to convince several others that I am some sort of Romney supporter.

I have told you that I come into contact with politicians on a regular basis during efforts to gain support and raise money for the USO and other charities that help veterans. Even my thirteen year old grandson easily understands that when speaking with people on the other end of the political spectrum that it is much more productive in these efforts to approach them in a way that indicates that we have some common ground and that I am not on the attack.

I made it quite clear in my initial post that I did not want Mitt Romney to run for president again and why. I also made it very clear that I am not a supporter. There is however a slight chance that there may be people who will read the post who are supporters. They are the ones I feel actually need to be reached. I wished for them to read beyond the first sentence so I started with a statement that didn’t really say anything but was somewhat conciliatory in tone so that they might sense that I am not their enemy and would make an effort to understand the reasons that I do not support Romney.

By mischaracterizing my post, you have actually managed to convince several others here that I am currently some sort of Romney supporter. That is certainly not true and I believe that you are intelligent enough to understand that your efforts in this thread have been very disingenuous and misleading.

Actually the mods should look at your posting history and try to figure out why this simple and accurate post on Mitt Romney. Which disagreed with your claim of “”I think that there is a lot of evidence that he is a good person,””

Got such a long and nasty attack from you in response, post 32, and then these continued nasty little follow ups.

Actually, the evidence is that Romney is a foul and despicable person when you look at his almost 70 years of life.
A man of low character and low morals, and a pathological liar.

You seem willing to attack, and insult, but not defend your disagreeing with post 14.
